This Doesn't Look Like Home Toto

In 2012 

I found out Mark & I had less than a month to load up

everything that I couldn't live without in a Penske truck

 and move across the country to Albuquerque, NM.

I tried not to focus on leaving our family.

I tried to find the adventure in our circumstance.

My goal was to

put my big girl panties on &

practice what I have preached 

for lots of years

by trusting God. 

I do trust Him but that doesn't always 

make everything easy, does it?

Imagine our shock

after less than a year in Albuquerque,

Mark gets offered a promotion that he couldn't refuse.

Once again,

we had about 6 weeks to pack everything

and move to Kansas.

Kansas!

Everything I know about Kansas I learned

from The Wizard Of Oz.

I flew out twice to find us a house to no avail.

Out of desperation,

I rented a house off of Zillow,

site unseen.

Trauma.

First thing we did after we unloaded the truck

was to go buy some rakes.

Never have I witnessed a move beautiful Fall.

Breathtaking!

Raised in Florida,

it was winter that I was looking forward to.

I love this winter wonderland.

It is like... magic.

That's where I am now

in Kansas

trusting God.
